Ronaldo: PSG striker Mbappe reminds me of myself at my best

Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazario admits he's a big fan of PSG striker Kylian Mbappe.

The Real Valladolid owner says Mbappe reminds him of himself.

Former Real Madrid star Ronaldo said: “He played an excellent World Cup from the first match to the final. Even when he didn't score, whether against England in the quarter-finals or against Morocco in the semi-finals, he was decisive every time, with assists.

"In the final, he was fantastic with four goals (including the penalty shootout). Technically he is fantastic, he is almost unstoppable and he could have been named the best player at the World Cup, because he so deserved it.

"Many forwards in this World Cup have been fast, but he is by far the fastest.

“In fact, when I watch him play, he reminds me of my best moments. He knows exactly how to exploit open spaces, how to be unpredictable on and off the ball and how to best get out of individual situations. He is impressive."
